@Smallfurry will probably have a different opinion, but I find using gears feels like using gears on the road, in that your wheel/the flywheel goes faster and takes longer to spin down, whereas using variable resistance is like changing the slope of the road, you get less inertia on the wheel and it's more of a grind.
